In this episode, I dive deep into the cultural firestorm surrounding Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny — two modern day titans who've become lightning rods for conversations about identity, belonging, and makes me wonder all the things we project onto celebrities. I'll be honest: I outlined this episode about 40 different times because I kept realizing this isn't really about music quality or whether you're a "Swiftie" — it's about how these artists have become permission slips for different parts of our identity.As someone who's both a white woman and Puerto Rican, watching the discourse around Taylor's "Life of a Showgirl" album and Bad Bunny headlining the Super Bowl has activated something in me about representation, cultural space, and the uncomfortable idea around paradoxes and simultaneous truths.I'm not here with final answers (honestly, I'm suspicious of anyone who claims to have them), but I am here to explore why we become such fierce defenders of celebrities we've never met (including my own story of kneeling at the altar of wellness influencers for YEARS), what our reactions reveal about our own identities, and how multiple truths can exist simultaneously. This one's messy, it's vulnerable, and I'm genuinely inviting dialogue, so come find me in the DMs because I want to hear what this brings up for you!Connect with Chelsea:

Get ready to learn HOW TO ASK FOR MONEY!I'm breaking down why money is such an anxiety-inducing topic, and the different ways to ask for money, including asking for a raise, a family investment into your biz, a refund from an airline and more!PLUS, I spill the tea on the time I was in Australia and BROKE AF. I'm talking "living off a tax refund with maxed out credit cards and nannying for accommodation" broke. This experience taught me how feeling shame wasn't a luxury I could afford.What You'll Learn:Ancient anxiety: How THOUSANDS of years of money evolution hardwired financial insecurity into your DNAWhy It's So WEIRD to talk about money: The psychological mess of tying your net worth to your self-worth, plus cultural taboos that make salary talk feel like a federal crimeThe trust factor: Every financial transaction is a tiny negotiation of power, status, and "will this person screw me over?" - asking for money is about trustHow to ACTUALLY ask: stop with the "just wondering if maybe possibly..." passive word salad and start using active language like you mean itThe Harvard hack: One word that increases compliance by 60% My Rock Bottom Era: That time I was so broke in Australia I DM'd literally everyone I'd ever met to sell $15 yoga classes (and it worked)!If you liked this episode, you'll LOVE these:⁠⁠The Witch Wound - Taking Down the Patriarchy Through Putting Yourself Out There⁠⁠⁠⁠Shoot Your Shot - Or Miss Out On Life's Biggest Opportunities⁠⁠⁠⁠Rejection Won't Kill You - What It Means & How to Deal With It⁠⁠P.S. ⁠⁠Pitch Perfect⁠⁠ is down to the final 2 spots!

The Tyler Robinson rooftop sniper hoax is crumbling after video evidence showing Israel's signature exploding lavalier mic blasting Charlie Kirk's throat, with accomplices snatching the bomb and detonator like pros in a heist. These Mossad monsters, fresh off their pager terrorism, think they can off Americans and have our puppet FBI bury it like JFK— but we're ripping the veil off this demonic plot, patriots, so lock and load for the truth bomb that's gonna make these pedo-perps pay. Western civilization has been infected by a parasitic invasion of foreign ideals and values that have been introduced into our culture by strange and morally degenerate people whose goal is world domination. We have been OCCUPIED.

Ever notice how we obsess over hitting these insane follower milestones, thinking that's when we'll finally feel legit? Chelsea's fed up with this narrative and breaks down why you don't need massive numbers to create something extraordinary. Just like you wouldn't throw a dinner party for 100 people and expect intimate conversations, your business thrives when you focus on nurturing smaller, engaged communities first. She shares why learning to hold space for 10 people beats chasing 100 every single time.Some rules of treating your biz like a dinner party:curate the vibe - playlists, mood, themeset clear expectations with your "invite" (aka your branding and messaging)actually be present for your guests instead of already planning the next occasionChelsea shares how this exact approach made her latest Pitch Perfect launch feel effortless and fun, plus why treating your audience like dinner party guests (complete with themed vibes and personalized attention) beats the whole "pray I go viral and sell out my program" marketing approach. Time to grab some glitter and wax seals for your invites and start planning your own digital dinner party!

Your favorite creator is BACK - PJ aka Poster Journal returns to spill the tea on why they nuked their entire YouTube channel (listen to Part 1 from last year for the lore), how they went from snark machine to reformed human who actually cares about kindness, and what it's like being creatively pregnant. We dive deep into sustainable creativity, the exhaustion of being perpetually anti-everything, and why your bare minimum might be your secret weapon. Plus: we find PJ's birth chart (he's a Projector!), discuss why I want to hire him as my life coach, and he presents the radical idea that being unserious is actually the highest form of spirituality.Some snippets from the convo:"I don't want to be anybody's guru... I'm nobody's teacher.""The trick is to take being unserious very seriously.""I make what I wish existed and I share it with the world. Simplicity is my strength.""Your bare minimum is a lot better than you probably think.""You're a tree, and you're going to keep changing and getting stronger. But you just need to put out fruit."Listen to Part 1 from Summer 2024 HERE.Connect with (and buy everything from) Poster Journal below:InstagramWebsite

In this episode, Chelsea sits down with Edila Smith (in-person in Lisbon!) to explore why disrupting your environment might be the fastest way to disrupt unconscious patterns that are running your life. From the reality of working while traveling to building a business that feels like home, this conversation reveals why most of us are sleepwalking through carefully constructed routines without questioning if they actually serve us.Episode themes:Why "perfect" morning routines can become creativity killers and how to build adaptive systems insteadThe reality check on laptop lifestyle myths (spoiler: working by the pool actually sucks!!!)How environment disruption strips away familiar identities and forces growthWhy dropping your "professional mask" makes people want to invest in youMicro-disruptions you can try without booking a flightWhy it might be time to throw the journal outUse life as your mood boardThe case for having way more fun in business and life (and both Chelsea and Edila share their unhinged wishes for having more fun)This episode is for those who feel stuck in routines that no longer serve them, entrepreneurs tired of performing "professionalism," and anyone curious about using environment disruption as a tool for conscious living.Connect with Edila:InstagramHOMECOMING | 1:1 mentorship for the ones building businesses that move with themTHE LINK UP (PORTUGAL 2026) | Where internet friends become IRL soulmates FLIGHT PLAN | The official landing pad for remote life dreamersIG Stories disappear in 24 hours.

Ever notice how the stories we don't tell—our silences, our hesitations, our shrinking—speak louder than the ones we share? In this episode of Communication Queen, Kimberly Spencer sits down with powerhouse PR consultant and storyteller, Corine La Font, for a conversation that will shake you out of hiding and catapult you into unapologetic visibility. Corine doesn't just talk about PR strategy—she embodies it. From breaking free of cultural narratives that told her to “play small” to building an international career amplifying other voices, Corine's journey is a masterclass in reclaiming your power through storytelling. Together, Kimberly and Corine dive into: The transformational shift that happens when you stop seeking permission and start owning your narrative. Why being loud, proud, and radically visible isn't just marketing—it's leadership. The exact mindset flips that will take you from “Who am I to share this?” to “Who am I not to?” If you've ever doubted your voice, felt the urge to shrink back, or wrestled with imposter syndrome, this episode will be your mirror, your megaphone, and your marching orders. Because here's the truth: your story isn't just a marketing tool—it's the strategy that will set you free.

The Morning Shift kicked off the show by reacting to what we saw in the NFL's season-opening game in Philadelphia. Unfortunately, the game itself was overshadowed by some wonky behavior from Jalen Carter. The Falcons open the regular season on Sunday and the crew discussed their pre-game rituals before getting into some audio from players at practice. Saturday is just a day away and we dug into some of the college football games we're excited about for Week 2. We then hit some Friday trivia with Ali's Mic Drop!

Marc Malusis, a.k.a. "Moose," has a surprisingly deep and fiery affection for singer Benson Boone. Despite his typical rock-centric tastes, Malusis finds himself surrendering the radio dial to his son in the car, which has led to a newfound obsession with Boone's music. He's not just tolerating it; he's championing it. Malusis's unexpected passion for Boone's heartfelt anthems has become a running joke and a source of amusement, revealing a softer side to the usually fiery sports personality.

BT and Sal get into a heated debate over the expectations and performance of Juan Soto. BT vehemently defends Soto's "down year," arguing that his stats are still elite and that focusing solely on batting average is a mistake in modern baseball. Sal pushes back, pointing to Soto's decline in certain numbers and asserting that a true "superstar" would be more consistent across the board. The argument spirals into a game of "pull your card" and other unrelated tangents, but the core disagreement remains: how to properly evaluate a player like Soto who is having a "bad year" by his own high standards, but still performing at a high level.

BT and Sal, still hot after ripping into a recent Mets' broadcast call for being "corny" and "pre-meditated," brought on the legendary John Sterling to discuss his most historic home run calls. The fiery duo celebrated Sterling's ability to capture the moment with unscripted passion and unique flair, a stark contrast to the broadcast calls they had just criticized. Sterling's appearance turned into a masterclass on the art of broadcasting, with the iconic voice of the Yankees sharing the stories behind his most memorable and spontaneous home run calls.

Guest Bios:Brittanny Kreutzer started The Speaker Exchange Agency with a background in sales and a love for the speaking industry. She was given a taste of the speaking industry while interning in college for Nancy Lauterbach, a past speakers bureau owner. Upon graduation from college she began a successful career selling radio space and developing radio campaigns for CBS Radio in Kansas City; however, after a few years the excitement of the speaking industry drew her back in. After working at a speakers bureau for several years and becoming one of the top sales executives, she took a break to spend time with her newborn baby Madison. The love she has for this industry struck again and after only a short month's break, Brittanny combined forces with her past colleague and friend, Julie Homsey, to create The Speaker Exchange Agency, LLC. Jeff Bigelow  joined SpeakInc in 1995, became Partner in 1996, and with over seventeen years of experience in the industry, still loves what he does.
